Nachamu Nachamu Ami...
Be comforted, Be comforted, My people (Isaiah 40:1)... This 2500 year old prophetic invocation still resonates for any moment of tragedy, when our Kehillah, our community, is wounded. It is a much needed message in light of Saturday's attack on the Tree of Life synagogue of Pittsburgh, resulting in 11 deaths and more injured, among the congregation and first responders. In this time of darkness, we are fortunate that words, and deeds, of comfort, have come from across the state, the country, and the globe, bringing Jews and members of diverse religious and cultural groups, of all ages, together, in unity, and shared pain.
